I run my site on Subtext which has been around for 6+ years in some form (Subtext is a fork of .Text from way back). As a part of the framework, there was initially built-in capabilities for tracking referral traffic. On each view of the application, it would tick a referral note and you could see this in the statistics view of the admin pages. As the standards (for lack of a better term) of tracking Page Views, Referrals, etc. moved to more proven/consistent reporting like Google Analytics (or other platforms) these type of platform tracking became worthless to...

I was just thinking the other day that I have some decent subscriber numbers here, but the same volume isn’t matched on my Twitter account. For those who don’t know about Twitter, it’s a great short message service that kind of works like a global messaging system. The best description I’ve heard has been: Twitter is like an ongoing conversation at a party. Come in and listen/participate whenever you want with whomever you want. Leave at your leisure. Come back often if you’d like. I use Twitter to communicate along with friends, family and...

From time to time I’ve gotten a few inquiries as to what platform my blog is, what tools do I use, etc. After a recent trip to Redmond and visiting with the Live Writer team, I got another inquiry while talking with a customer. I thought I’d just spit out my thoughts. First, my platform. Yes there are many platforms out there for blogging. Probably the most popular are Wordpress and Blogspot. I think those are popular because you can get up and running for free and have it hosted. My wife and her friends mostly use Blogspot for...

I’ve just completed my upgrade to my site of the official 2.0 release of Subtext, the Open Source blogging engine that I use to manage content on this site. You can read the full announcement from grand poohba Haack himself here. I’m loving this release because of the improvements made but also a little selfishly because the modifications I’ve made to my own fork I’ve been using have made it into this release! These modifications really make this the best platform for me when using Live Writer. This may not make a difference to a lot of you,...

As I patiently awaited, here’s what was presented to my browser:
I’ve made my first official “commit” to an open source project that I didn’t start. I feel good. I feel like cracking open a Mt. Dew and going crazy. Honestly though it does feel good (and fun).
My blog engine I use is Subtext. It’s the blog engine I’ve used almost exclusively (I actually started with .Text before scottw sold out went to Telligent to make Community Server. I kid of course, Scott is a great guy, and very smart. But when .Text was seemingly going to get stale, others...

This blog runs on SubText. I heart SubText. I know there are others out there but for me SubText has met most of my needs. And when it hasn’t I modify it. Which brings me to this post. There was a thread on an email list I belong to about Windows Live Writer (I heart Live Writer too :-)) and categories (adding new categories on the fly). This got me to crack open the source and hunt. Alas, there was no support for this. I’ve been ranting about WordPress API support for SubText on the developer list and I think...
